How it differs from similar foods
Unlike salted cashews, these are unsalted, offering a cleaner, more natural cashew flavor. Roasted cashews have a deeper, more developed taste compared to raw cashews, which are softer and have a milder, milky flavor. The whole form means they are intact, not broken or chopped.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining cashews in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity, which can affect their texture and flavor. Properly stored, they will retain their quality for an extended period.
